Andy Serkis counts himself among those who’ve taken a pounding from a superhero, and it was not something he’ll soon forget.
During filming for the pivotal chase and fight scene set in South Korea in “Black Panther,” Serkis said that star Chadwick Boseman rattled him when T’Challa kneed him in the chest.
“Very, very first take, he kneed me so hard in the chest- ’cause he couldn’t really see with his mask on — I thought like he broke my ribs on the very first take,” Serkis said in an interview with PeopleTV’s “Couch Surfing.”
Serkis recalled that it was a night shoot and he was jet-lagged after having just flown into Atlanta to be on set.
